He said sections from Mile 2 to Tin Can would be closed to traffic.
The Vice Chairman, Presidential Task Team on Apapa Restoration of Law and Order, Mr Kayode Opeifa, said movement would be restricted for about 72 hours and truck drivers have been asked to leave the restricted portions for ease of movement during the repairs. However emergency and construction vehicles will be given unrestricted movement to ensure they carry the required materials for the construction.
